Album Notes & Community Reviews
Originally composed shortly before his death in 1987, Morton Feldman's 'Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello' is an exhaustive, feature-length exploration of delicate acoustic decay. The chamber piece demands intense concentration, eschewing traditional developmental arcs in favor of glacially shifting chord clusters and incredibly quiet, repetitive motifs. This 1995 realization perfectly captures his signature quietude, existing more as an immersive acoustic environment than a standard musical narrative.
